For the exploitation of marble and granite resources and development of the sector, Pakistan Stone Development Company (PASDC) has established a modern quarry in Chitral. This facility would help the miners and local people to explore rich marble and granite resources in the area for the socio-economic prosperity of the region and the country, said a PASDC statement here on Monday.

He urged the PASDC to start similar more projects in Chitral, which would help improve living conditions of the people.
